There is a large birdcage hanging in the forest, and in it is a dead girl. Yes, yes, Izola Wilde sees a lot of things that others don’t see. But when a dead girl appears under Izola’s window, it becomes clear that her threats are not an empty phrase. Isola cannot cope alone. Her prince brothers - elves, mermaids and magical creatures, as if straight from the pages of a fairy tale book - protect her with all the ferocious strength of loving hearts.

Ellis Neer writes smartly and sharply, masterfully mixing reality and fiction. Holding the reader's hand tightly, she leads him into the dark forest of fantasy, following in the footsteps of Neil Gaiman and Angela Carter.
